Using a ship headset is more gross than licking the lav floor. Buy yourself a professional tool instead of eating the phlegm of hundreds of coworkers.

this x 1000. Your day 1 pay will start an over 8k/ month with this new TA, do yourself a favor and get a good ANR headset.

A selfie wearing the ship headset is approved documentation for GFB sick calls.

Why buy a zipper tie when you can just leave the knot in a regular tie for the duration of its life?

The zipper wore out so now I replaced it with an elastic snap band. Geen and comfortable when so equipped. (which is as little as possible, pretty much just the crew march on and off the plane)

+1. Highly recommend the Bose ProFlight 2. Worth every penny.

I must be in the minority on this one. If a tree falls and no one sees it does it make a sound? If everyone buys their own headsets are the ship sets that dirty? I’m going on a year flying here with ship sets and only called in “sick” once. Maybe I’m just cheap AF.

The one sided DC headsets are so uncomfortable and heavy I can’t do them unless I have to. Also, depending on fleet/destinations, a good headset so you can hear the foreign accented controller is very helpful. I’ve been rolling Bose QC15s for over 12 years, the new ones are even better. If I bought a new pair, on the 7ER, I’d probably get Telex 850s.

Clarity Aloft. One earbud in for ATC, one out if you don’t have hot mic.

On the massive pay cut, if this contract is approved (find out in less than a week), new hire pay is around $9K a month and Delta pays for your uniforms and lodging during training. So not “massive” anymore unless you are super senior and somehow are coming over without a retirement.

Even with new contract his take home pay will be about 4-6K less per month, depending on rank/time in service he left the mil at. That’s pretty significant if you haven’t planned for it.

2nd this motion. Headset is just more trash to haul around. Ship sets on for about a total of 4 hours of a 6-day trip.
